Benny Chambers flees her dark past and begins fresh at the University of Virginia, trying to focus on her future instead of dwelling on her past. She is majoring in Business and working at a coffee shop, hoping to one day open up her own bookstore-cafe hybrid business. Although she and Sam aren't friends anymore (and haven't been for a long time), he ends up at UVA with her, playing for their basketball team. 

Benny's darkness is turned on its head when she meets Mickey Sinclair Jr., star small forward on the UVA basketball team and the brightest thing to ever enter Benny's life. Mickey is the Golden Boy and Benny is a social outcast with a small circle of coworkers who she calls her friends: how could a relationship between them ever work? 

....especially when Benny's dark past catches up to her in Virginia? 

Can she and Mickey push through the darkness and rediscover the light they once had? Or will all the danger, secrets, and lies weigh too heavily on their blossoming relationship?

In the second book following "How it was Left" - By the summer before their junior year, Zooey proposes a promise that she and Lila won't let anything stop them from moving on from Borne to pave their own ways for themselves, even if those paths send them to separate places. But when Lila's boyfriend Michael dies tragically at the end of their senior year, those separate places the girls end up in leave Lila remaining in Borne while Zooey heads off for college in Chicago. Not only are the two separate from each other geographically, but through hidden secrets both have vowed to keep from each other about the terrible night of Michael's death. Five years later, Zooey has returned to Borne after finishing school, but unfortunately, experiences in her past 5 years of life have forced their way home with her. Not only that, but being back in such close proximity of Lila reminds her that she still carries a terrible secret about Michael she's sure Lila never knew about. Zooey's arrival back into town leaves Lila feeling much of the same. Riddled with guilt about the parts of her life she has kept secret from Zooey and others, she finds herself pushing away the only person she's truly been able to trust since Michael has been gone: Michael's brother, Hunter. ***CONTENT AND/OR TRIGGER WARNING: This series contains situations pertaining to violence, addiction, childhood trauma, sexual assault/rape, mental/emotional/physical abuse, and tragic accidents & loss of loved ones which may be upsetting for some readers.
